Expert Guide to Selecting the Best Skincare Products for Your Skin Type

A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right Skincare Products According To Your Skin Type

The TlDR is Skincare As A One Size Fits All Is WRONG

More and more it seems that the one-size-fits-all skincare philosophy — like that of denim jeans in an ad for Old Navy where they made pants literally from all kinds of different fabrics because why not?!— does not apply so easily. We've all seen a product that one of our favorite influencers swears by, but when we try it ourselves…crickets! It just doesn't do what the infomercial promised.

The product isn't terrible, it's just not for you skin. Since everyone's skin is different, it only seems logical that you would tailor a routine around what your specific skin can handle. While the Core Four should be the foundation of every skincare regimen, it is equally important to have an understanding about what specific products are best-suited for your skin type.

Know Your Skin Type

Determine your skin typeKnowing your skin is the first major step to a healthier beauty regime. Is your skin oily, dry or a combination? Are you prone to breakouts. You can check that with the no make up face test:

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry with a clean cotton towel. It IS the end of your skincare routine. Take your skin test (after 30 minutes)

The next clue is if your skin feels tight and flaky.

Your skin is oily, if it looks shiny and greasy.

Normal Skin: If your face neither feels too dry and nor to(oily then you have normal skin.

You have combination skin if you are flaky in some areas, and shiny is others

Knowing your skin type will enable you to determine what products and treatments work best for you. There are specialized ingredients to work for your skin type, find what may fit the bill and look out for that in product form.

Consider Your Lifestyle

Your skin and routine need to suit your lifestyle. Outdoorsy types: choose high SPF products with added protection against environmental damage.

It is a trial and error-search for the perfect skincare products. What you do during the day, in what order, and at what intensity will help to determine how your skin responds. It may sound tough in the beginning but, deeming it essential and keeping with what suits you is certainly going to make things fun. Remember, you are worth it.
